Some people!

That looks well strange.

Any more info or links about it?

Thanks

It must be some form of hub center steering I reckon.

Buggered if I can work it out though.

I like it too, a lot of work has gone into that!

 

So a new project?

 

This sort of hub steering has been around for years on the Ducati.

Loving the bungee strapped number boards!!

 

The owner said it handled extremely well.

Anyone has a diagram how it works?

 

From memory the axle has a bearing like a tennis ball and the wheel turns on it .

The answer to the question no one asked. Been around forever, and if it worked good we would all have it by now.

 

But it works good just that forks were first and used much more widely so people got used to it. I loved how Tesi felt on the road. Much more planted feel when you go past normal where are my forks reaction.

 

Agreed, so you could feel "something". But if you look carefully at the complexity of that system the difference would have to be huge to pay off. There are over 100 years of development behind motorcycle suspension. If people are "used to" anything, its a durable system that's affordable. It's neat, don't get me wrong, but it's also the opposite of "Simplify and add lightness".

 

I love it!!!
